“Eala: The Mother Swan/La Madre Cisne” is a bilingual picture book for young readers.
Ayn Cates Sullivan’s story introduces readers to Hugo, a young boy who is bullied and is starting to forget his identity. He is sad in a difficult world, but his grandmother’s story about a magical swan makes Hugo believe that if he finds the swan, he can “recapture his spirit and spark.”
“Eala is a story about a boy who is just beginning to lose his connection to his inner world, so he goes in search of a magical swan,” Sullivan said in a press release.
Suitable for children ages 5 to 9, Hugo finds the swam and hops onto her back for a flight between worlds. He rediscovers the music and wonder of the world, and begins to heal.
“It’s a book for all readers who wish to live soulful lives,” Sullivan said in the press release.
An Amazon, Wall Street Journal and USA Today bestselling author, Sullivan earned a Ph.D. from Kings College in London. She has written 15 books and won more than 60 literary awards. In her podcast, Wisdom of the Ages, Sullivan covers topics about personal growth and freedom, and is president of Infinite Light Publishing & Media.
